Deadlines: See Important dates on the conference main page.
UDIT (The Norwegian Conference on Didactics in IT education) is a meeting place for scientific publication, discussion, and exchange of experiences related to teaching ICT in higher education. We welcome contributions on all topics related to education, teaching, didactics and the use of ICT in learning. If you have gained new insights and good ideas through your work on developing a course or academic program, UDIT can be an excellent arena for presenting and publishing your work.
UDIT accepts contributions in the form of research papers, which will be peer reviewed and give credits as publications with ISSN (level 1 in the Norwegian publication system, Cristin) and posters/demonstrations, which do not give publication credits but serve as valuable contributions to the discussions during the conference.

Research papers
Research papers submitted to UDIT are subject to peer review by at least three independent reviewers. In assessing the papers we consider the following four aspects:
- Relevance
- Importance
- Scientific quality
- Presentation
An elaboration of these aspects can be found below.
Research papers accepted at UDIT will be published as part of the conference reports from the NIKT series (e-ISSN 1892-0721) This series is published by Bibsys Open Journal Systems and gives level 1 credits in the Cristin system.
It is not required that the submission be anonymous, but you may choose to submit anonymously. Deadlines for submitting (mandatory) abstract and research papers: See Important dates.
Posters
Posters and demonstrations may be used to present useful experiences with, or new ideas for, teaching methods and tools for ICT-education. The deadline for submitting posters and demonstrations is later than for research papers. For more information about this category, see Posters.
Assessment and publication
Contributions to UDIT may be written in Norwegian, another Scandinavian language, or English. Presentations should be given in English if part of the audience at the conference does not speak a Scandinavian language.
All contributions have to be original and not be published or under review elsewhere.
Authors retain the rights to further developing their contribution for other publishing channels.
We have the following requirements for publication in the conference report, both for research papers and for extended abstracts for posters/demonstrations:
- The required documents must be submitted within the given deadlines
- At least one author must register for the conference and present the work at the conference
Under specific circumstances, a submitted manuscript can be refused by the program committee without being sent for peer review. This applies if the manuscript has obvious deficiencies, making peer review meaningless (i.e., plagiarism, the work has been presented elsewhere, no scientific contents of a topic far outside of the area of UDIT). In cases of plagiarism or scientific dishonesty (i.e., plagiarism or auto-generated gibberish), the rejection and its reason will not only be sent to the submitter, but also, potentially, to the institution where (s)he is employed, and also to those being plagiarized.
Format and submission
All contributions to UDIT should be submitted via EasyChair.
